 Have you guys ever made pizza on the grill? If yes, then you know how AMAZING it is! And if not, then I’ll be sharing with you how to make Grilled Pizza for the first time and ENJOY it all season long.

Because frankly, a pizza on your bbq is something you can’t miss! I love to make this simple and easy recipe for  Veggie Pizza On The Grill as opposed to something like the classic pepperoni pizza. While the concept is the same and technique too, I feel the grill is perfect for something different than the classics.

Why this recipe works:

This  Veggie Pizza On The Grill is utterly deliciously yet easy and simple to make.

Picture a crispy pizza with a smoky flavor from the BBQ, topped with a creamy spicy Garlic Blue Cheese Sauce, and loaded with crisp veggies, blue cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

As toppings for my Veggie Pizza On The Grill, I chose a mix of kale, golden beet sticks, red cabbage, and kohlrabi. These veggies pair beautifully with my blue cheese sauce.

For a contrast of textures and sweetness, I added sliced pears. A match made in heaven for all blue cheese lovers! I shared this veggie pizza on the grill with my blue cheese loving friend and she DEVOURED it!

Let us talk about the pizza dough for or Veggie Pizza On The Grill. You know I’m a from-scratch person so if you ask me I’ll say make this Best Pizza Dough or this No Knead Overnight Pizza Dough which is easier if you plan ahead of time.

Also, while you’re checking out these recipes, be sure to scroll down and read the tips I shared for achieving your favorite crust perfection! However I will state for the record, you can buy your favorite ready-made pizza dough and it will work just as well!

How to make this Veggie Pizza On The Grill With Blue Cheese Sauce:

Prepare the pizza dough or use your favorite store-bought brand. Roll out the dough into a 9-inch circle/square on a lightly floured surface. Let the pizza dough rest for 20 minutes while you prepare the garlic blue cheese dip and preheat the grill.

Preheat your grill to medium-high.Brush one side of the pizza dough with olive oil and place that brushed side on the grill. Cover the lid and let the pizza dough cook for 2 minutes. Now, brush the top side of the pizza dough and then flip the dough so the newly brushed side is now facing the flame.

Cover the lid and let the pizza dough cook fully for another 2 minutes.

Remove the pizza dough from the grill, then spread a layer of the blue cheese dip on top of it.

I love spreading a layer of this garlic blue cheese dip on my grilled pizza dough, top that with crispy kale beet blend, sweet sliced pears, pomegranate seeds, crumbles of blue cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

I start with the kale beet blend, then add some pear slices…..

…followed by crumbled blue cheese and pomegranate seeds!

Pure pizza decadence!!! This veggie pizza is awesome sliced into pizza wedges or rolled up like a wrap or a  Turkish Pizza Lahmacun. I feel like a pizza wrap is a totally normal thing! 🙂
